An angry, raw, impassioned about life with MS, not just the debilitating disease, but the debilitating treatment of people slipped into the category of disabled. Fear and anger and frustration crowd the pages of this superbly written book. This is not an inspiring novel of bravery and acceptance. It's a rough, tough novel of self defense.
Brilliantly read, this is a shivery, chilling novel about murder and madness and religious obsession and hauntings and landscape. The story of a murderer who is imprisoned in an insane asylum, rediscovered through his paintings av=fter his death, as told through the eyes of his daughter and his own long-hidden journal, about how he became haunted by a devil from the fens.
Delicious collection of four weird stories. Some stronger than others, and all probably more interesting for their hinted shared mythical backdrop, which does haunt and linger suggestively, but all with a great sinister and unreal atmosphere.
I am still sick and I can barely read let alone review. I loved this. It's mind-bending, relevant and cutting edge.
I've skipped the collection of historical fill-ins, but that doesn;t hurt the narrative of this superb ending to one of the best of all modern comics.
Binti's trip to university is fraught enough given that she has to sneak away from her disapproving family, but then her ship as attacked by aliens, and as the only survivor, she is the only thing standing in the way of even more violence. and war. Excellent space adventure.
